The youth is under siege and there is a desperate need for intervention.

Young people are doomed if we don't save them from drug abuse.

When people are high, they do things they wouldn't normally do .

Those who are hooked on narcoticsbecome a danger to society, either becoming jailbirds or dying before their time.

Only a lucky few get help.

The public should work with police to tackle this challenge because the police can't win this battle on their own.
